What we stand for

For over 140 years, the name Hengstenberg stands for fine flavours, genuine taste and highest quality. We have long been known and loved - perhaps even a little famous - for sauerkraut, red cabbage, vinegar, gherkins and many other delicious specialities, and not just in our home country of Germany, but in over 30 countries worldwide. 
Our claim: We refine selected raw materials and ingredients into the best products. That’s the mission behind the Hengstenberg brand: the best from the best. Finest German food. Since 1876.
